Press quotes
“In these works I am again reminded of the balancing contrasts of the pastoral and the aggressive advances of the industrial that pervades some early twentieth century European music ... Of the track 'The Poetry of Music' ... the music in this suite is often ephemeral, quite charming.”
— Sounds Australian
“... a curious mixture covering a concerto for saxophone and strings that boldly uses a rhythm section, award-winning film music, a suite inspired by poetry and a commissioned work for 14 flutes ...”
— Andra Jackson, Herald Sun
